Revision as of 23:55, 3 July 2008

i have been approached quite a few times about writing a book, and that has always been in the back of my head. This is why i set up WX initally, to document best practice and provide shared knowledge.

like sven said, this would have to be discussed in different levels: beginning, intermedate, advanced.

i think there is room for a few books possibly:

  • MW as Enterprise tool
  • MW as CMS
  • best MW practices
  • and of course, Semantic Wiki

Main Questions To answer

  • are these Textbooks? General?
  • who is the audience (market research)
  • what is already out there (I can fill this in later)
  • how to supplement a printed book with online content/trainings.
  • basis for Consulting/Training
  • how to get paid/royalties/etc
  • how to do a brain dump and organization/editing here without it being pirated. etc.

ramifications of this: (considering everyone who contributes)....it wouldn't be fair for me just to make the dough, but it wouldn't be fair for me to do all the work to publish either....
